Tuesday Surgery

Hi Everyone,
I'm writing this 12/16/2006 but I have it dated 12/12/2006 because my entry is for that day. I had surgery and it went very well. Prior to surgery I got their at 5:30am but had surgery at 10am. I found out they had to do some things that would make it take longer to prep me. I had to have shots to make sure that I had no blood clots occurring. When the nurse gave me a shot prior to the surgery; she told me that I had jerked and told me not to move. Thankfully, she was very kind about it when she told me because I was unaware that I had even moved. It appeared that I was having some sort of jerkiness and we don't know why; the nurses called them spasms and it happened frequently, so every time I had a shot, I had to tell the nurse that my body jerks, so to hold off a few seconds. I wanted her to know exactly what I meant. Sometimes they gave me the shot in my leg because my stomach was too busy jerking and it did not affect the legs or arms.
So anyway, I was in a lot of pain after my surgery but that is to be expected and I was given A LOT of pain medicine and it made me sleep A LOT!
